"Incredible location, resort, staff and food. I stayed here for 10 nights and it was perfect. The rooms are spacious with a tasteful interior equipped with air conditioning.

Zoi Retreat Hotel & Villas Zanzibar

Matemwe

10/10 Excellent

This was my first hotel in Zanzibar and I would return in heartbeat to stay longer. The aesthetic was relaxing, the owners were present and enjoyable to visit with. The food was DELICIOUS!! It was quiet, peaceful, and comfortable. The waters are somewhat shallow on the beach in the morning and then rise as the day continues. Be sure and wear water sandals or footwear with a hard sole. There are many prickly urchins around. There are also spots where there are not and it makes for a great area to...

Susan

A wooden deck with a thatched roof overlooking turquoise waters and lush greenery.

The Island - Pongwe Lodge - Adults Only

Pongwe

10/10 Excellent

The island is chock-full if friendly and comforting staff members which truly elevate the unique experience provided by the island itself. The villas were extremely clean and we didn’t even encounter one big inside ours. The pool was a nice addition and just walking around being surrounded by palms, turquoise waters and silence was as breathtaking as it gets. To add to all this - THE FOOD was extraordinary. Hats off to the chef. We had 4 meals here within 24 hours time and loved each one! Thank...

Villa Huruma

Paje

10/10 Excellent

Absolutely loved my two nights here at Villa Huruma. It’s a small cozy hotel which I really prefer to the giant hotels. The property is beautiful with great decor and lots of plants. The pool was so refreshing and the chairs comfortable. Everything here looks very new from rhe tile around the pool to the cement flooring and walls in the room. The balcony was also a nice bonus though the view isn’t great it’s nice to relax in the evening breeze. The breakfast was top notch especially the eggs....

Carli

A pool area with lounge chairs and a thatched-roof structure.

Mia Boutique Hotel

Michamvi

10/10 Excellent

Wonderful Stay at Maya Hotel Resort! I had an amazing experience at the Maya Hotel Resort during my 7-day stay. My first impression wasn’t the best, as we arrived at night, and I couldn’t see the ocean because the tide was out. However, in the morning, the water returned, and with better lighting, I was able to fully appreciate the beauty of the resort. The staff were absolutely wonderful—attentive, friendly, and always ready to help. The food was good, though there’s definitely room for...

Anonymous traveler

Zanzibar Coffee House

Stone Town

10/10 Excellent

If you're the type of traveler who eats at McDonald's in other country's, then this property is probably not for you, but if you want to immerse in the local culture, its fantastic. Make sure you specify a bathroom in your room, unless you're ok with sharing, and make sure you arrange for a pickup at the airport for transportation to the hotel. The street is about 5 feet wide, and the van has to park a few blocks away. The area adjacent to the hotel is a lot like Marrakech, Morrocco with...

The Oasis Residence

Jambiani

10/10 Excellent

The reviews on this place did not serve it justice! I was blown away at the amenities that were not mentioned. When you arrive you are greeted with a welcome drink and cleansing towel. There is a restaurant on site and you basically get a concierge that you can message whenever you need something. They even provide a grocery list of things they can shop for you and will do your laundry (both for a fee). Shuttle to sister hotel to go to the beach was a good plus (no fee). Staff was...
